Inhuman Nature

You fat little troll
You sick little gnome
Your bitter black spirit ain’t got no home
You snake tongued deceiver
You snake tongued deceiver

I know what’s good
I know what’s right
So I’m a gonna fill your house with dynamite
You snake tongued deceiver
You snake tongued deceiver

The truth will force you back into your hole
Those tiny beady eyes you got no soul
Your heart is dead
Your blood is fire
An ugly mean malicious liar
You snake tongued deceiver
You snake tongued deceiver

Rancid breath
Gnashing teeth
An unrepentant spineless thief
You snake tongued deceiver
You snake tongued deceiver

The truth will force you back into your hole
Those tiny beady eyes you got no soul

My oh my
It’s getting late
All around the world I’m gonna preach my hate
You snake tongued deceiver
You snake tongued deceiver

You stupid man
You petty creep
The hell you’ve sown you’re gonna reap
You snake tongued deceiver
You snake tongued deceiver

The truth will force you back into your hole
Those tiny beady eyes you’ve got no soul

Snake tongued deceiver
Snake tongued deceiver
You’re a snake tongued deceiver
A snake tongued deceiver
You’re a snake tongued deceiver
A snake tongued deceiver

Oh I’ve been in such a rut
Man I feel like giving up
Blues as black as dirty coal
Never felt so fuckin’ low
At the cult of loneliness
The cult of loneliness and fear

The sky offends I pluck it out
What’s this whole mess all about?
Seen you there with chains and locks
Trapped inside an empty box
At the cult of loneliness
The cult of loneliness and fear

Satan is real I see him everywhere
The night so still his hoof upon the stair

Dirty hair of yellow gold
The truth forever stays untold
After that deluge of rain
The clouds were never quite the same
At the cult of loneliness
The cult of loneliness and fear

The sun is setting light grows dim
I’m hanging from a hickory limb
The dirt is turning bloody red
As if the earth itself has bled
At the cult of loneliness
The cult of loneliness and fear

Satan is real I see him everywhere
The night so still his hoof upon the stair

The medicine ain’t working Bill
You’re going to Boot Hill
Them owlhoots with lead I’ll fill
I ain’t ashamed to kill

Stumbling along this dusty trail boys
Trying hard to walk straight not to fail boys
Been looking for something better
Been searching for sunny weather
Here comes the rain

The medicine ain’t working Bill
You’re going to Boot Hill
Them owlhoots with lead I’ll fill
I ain’t ashamed to kill

The ox’s tongue is swollen and inflamed boys
A victim of a thirst best left unnamed boys
Been dreaming of cool water
Been thinking you were my daughter
I’m drunk again

The medicine ain’t working Bill
You’re going to Boot Hill
Them owlhoots with lead I’ll fill
I ain’t ashamed to kill

Vengeance
Vengeance
Vengeance
Vengeance

Christmas always seems so far away boys
Satan knows exactly what to say boys
Been feeling like an ornery black bear
Been trying to learn to not care
It’s all insane

The medicine ain’t working Bill
You’re going to Boot Hill
Them owlhoots with lead I’ll fill
I ain’t ashamed to kill

Wondering if them dinosaurs were real boys
And if these mortal wounds will ever heal boys
Been acting mighty squirrelly
Been waking frightful early
It’s Armageddon

The medicine ain’t working Bill
You’re going to Boot Hill
Them owlhoots with lead I’ll fill
I ain’t ashamed to kill

Vengeance
Vengeance
Vengeance
Vengeance
Sayeth the Lord

Only one thing I believe no more
Mosaic Law
Oh
Oh
Oh
Mosaic Law

If you want to live in the world today
You gotta learn to make the guilty pay
Roll your bones in a frightened ball
Or you can stand up wicked and tall

Only one thing I believe no more
Mosaic Law
Oh
Oh
Oh
Mosaic Law

Have you ever felt the jaw of a grizzly bear
Tearing your face and ripping your hair
Put his little throat between your jaw
And bravely tell your mouth to gnaw

Only one thing I believe no more
Mosaic Law
Oh
Oh
Oh
Mosaic Law

Everything’s corrupt

Maybe they’ll take all your money
Maybe you’ll live on the street
Maybe they’ll hunt you and trap you
Maybe you’ll crawl at your feet

They can do what they want with your body
But never can they touch your soul
Never can they touch your soul

Maybe you’ll lose all you worked for
Maybe they’ll laugh at your worry
Maybe you’ll turn to the bottle
Maybe you’ll fall in a hurry

They can do what they want with your body
But never can they touch your soul
Never can they touch your soul

Maybe the truth doesn’t matter
Maybe the lies are much stronger
Maybe you’ve run all you care to
Maybe you won’t run no longer

They can do what they want with your body
But never can they touch your soul
Never can they touch your soul

Cloud of worry makes my hackles rise
Shove this burning poker through the skies
Evil’s always hunting me
Let me be
Just let me be

Heap bad medicine (bad bad medicine)
Heap bad medicine (bad bad medicine)
Heap bad medicine’s all you give to me

Arrows made of bone and knotty pine
In my back and through my heart and spine
Evil’s always hunting me
Let me be
Just let me be

Heap bad medicine (bad bad medicine)
Heap bad medicine (bad bad medicine)
Heap bad medicine’s all you give to me

What a stupid time to live through
What a bitter bloated dread brew

In the air a sickness deep and strange
Can’t be washed away with bleach or rain
Evil’s always hunting me
Let me be
Just let me be

Heap bad medicine (bad bad medicine)
Heap bad medicine (bad bad medicine)
Heap bad medicine’s all you give to me

Belly bulges ’neath a belt of flesh
The stink of you betrays the stink of death
Evil’s always hunting me
Let me be
Just let me be

Heap bad medicine (bad bad medicine)
Heap bad medicine (bad bad medicine)
Heap bad medicine’s all you give to me

What a stupid time to live through
What a bitter bloated dread brew

Heap bad medicine (bad bad medicine)
Heap bad medicine (bad bad medicine)
Heap bad medicine’s all you give to me
Heap bad medicine (bad bad medicine)
Bad bad medicine (heap bad medicine)

Tap tap tapping on my window
The long black fingernails of sorrow
Why don’t you go crawl back to God and rot there?
I don’t want to see you ‘round here not anymore

The gates of hell are dark and grim
Encircled by a moat of sin

Do you think the pain is worth it?
Bind your lungs inside that corset
This day this week this month cannot be tolerated
Falling in this burning pit I thought we hated

The gates of hell are dark and grim
Encircled by a moat of sin

Companions I got none can’t you tell?
The jackals charmed ‘em with their roadkill
Don’t you ever wonder why we are all trapped here?
Don’t you want to wander somewhere there’s still danger?

The gates of hell are dark and grim
Encircled by a moat of sin

Sometimes folks just need to suffer
It makes ‘em mean it makes ‘em tougher
Take this plow and plow away it just don’t matter
Put that pillow on my face so I can breathe sir

The gates of hell are dark and grim
Encircled by a moat of sin

Meet me in the orchard by the poison apple tree
There’s something I must show you won’t you come along with me
To that place behind the shadows a place everybody goes
Where the spirit is released from all its momentary woes

Lonely dreams each night
These are my lonely dreams

Some people say there’s nothing worse than crying all alone
For me it is the only way of life I’ve ever known
Take me to a funeral in nineteen twenty-five
That’s about the only place I think I’d feel alive

Lonely dreams each night
These are my lonely dreams

Angels they are choking in the doom infected sky
Your presence is too painful so its truth I will deny
In time the fondest memory will blur and start to fade
It’s over now my debt to you has finally been paid

Lonely dreams each night
These are my lonely dreams

Lord lift this burden been sinking so low
I think I’ve reached bottom nowhere else to go
Lord lift this burden
Lord lift this burden

I’ve tried to be honest and live a good life
But all it has brought me is worry and strife
Lord lift this burden
Lord lift this burden

Covered in hellhounds I’m shaking with pain
My life is now swirling like scum down a drain
Lord lift this burden
Lord lift this burden

It is too heavy for me all alone

Don’t want to be here living in sick fear
I want to disappear
Tired of losing self pity boozing
I want to disappear

Pound a railroad stake in my cold dead heart
My buddy shot his baby with a poisoned dart
From that gal in Memphis I caught leprosy
But no one needs to know ’cept you and me

Don’t want to be here living in sick fear
I want to disappear
Tired of losing self pity boozing
I want to disappear

Horn headed butcher taught me all I know
Got a demon bone whistle boys I’m gonna blow
More bad news coming every hour
Been haunted by the shadow of a misery tower

Don’t want to be here living in sick fear
I want to disappear
Tired of losing self pity boozing
I want to disappear

Watch me fade away

Whole world’s dying don’t it make you proud?
Black smog falling like a funeral shroud
These hot summer days have sure been cold
I’ve learned too much I done got old

Don’t want to be here living in sick fear
I want to disappear
Tired of losing self pity boozing
I want to disappear

Watch me fade away

Don’t want to be here living in sick fear
I want to disappear
I want to disappear
I want to disappear

I was talking to the wind tonight
I was hoping it would hear my plight
So lonesome since we’ve been apart
She put a spell on my sad old heart

Blow wind, blow wind
Blow my baby back home again

Cool breeze passing through the trees
Went and fell on my mangled knees
Sucked the air into my aching lungs
Formed these words with my bitter tongue

Blow wind, blow wind
Blow my baby back home again
Sugar, sugar
Sugar, sugar
Sugar, sugar
I feel so cold

Willows growing up into the sun
Can’t seem to get along with anyone
Truth hit me like a shotgun blast
All these women they move too fast

Blow wind, blow wind
Blow my baby back home again

There’s mystery hiding everywhere
But when I look it’s never there
Nothing hiding up my dirty sleeve
All i’ve got to do is sit and grieve

Blow wind, blow wind
Blow my baby back home again
Sugar, sugar
Sugar, sugar
Sugar, sugar
I feel so cold

Come all you young devils and listen to me
I’ll tell you a sad story of bad misery
I was born in the country among the beautiful hills
And the memory of my childhood is warm in me still
I grew sick of the fireside I grew sick of my home
I had in view far rambling and far away I did roam
I left all my family to my home I said farewell
And I went down to Chicago the very depths of hell
It was there I took to drinking I sinned night and day
But deep in my poor heart I heard mother say
“Oh be good now my sweet son
May God protect by boy
May God forever bless him and bring his life joy”
I courted a fair maiden her name I will not tell
For it would forever disgrace her since I’m going to hell
It was on one summer evening the stars shining bright
And with a fatal dagger I bid her spirit flight
Now the police overtook me you can all plainly see
My soul is doomed forever for all eternity
I’m now on the scaffold my time is not long
You may forget the singer but don’t forget the song

Found a dead raccoon in the garage today
Guess things just wasn’t going his way
Dragged him into the bushes by his hind leg
Let ’em rest easy oh Lord I did beg

This year has been terrible shitty
Laid low by blow after blow of inhuman nature

I washed my hands and looked to the sky
Never no answers so I just cry
The snow fell down slowly it covered the trees
Upon the earth’s back we scurry like fleas

This year has been terrible shitty
Laid low by blow after blow of inhuman nature

No one to help the helpless
Nothing to do but lose

My best friend discovered a massive black tumor
On the neck of his sister least that was the rumor
Oh the berries were growing the bushes were green
To me every person is always so mean

This year has been terrible shitty
Laid low by blow after blow of inhuman nature

Yes I was born in the year nineteen hundred and eighty
To a very morose and mysterious lady
Now I have been driven to the edge of a cliff
The hair on my knuckles is frozen and stiff

This year has been terrible shitty
Laid low by blow after blow of inhuman nature

No one to help the helpless
Nothing to do but lose

Jackals
Human jackals
Human jackals

If you’re wounded they will hunt you
When you’re dying they will feed
Gnawing on defenseless bones
In your time of greatest need

Jackals
Human jackals
Human jackals

Laws of vast archaic knowledge
Only they know all the rules
Draining fast your tiny fortune
Trust them not oh helpless fools

Jackals
Human jackals
Human jackals

Call for some sane intervention
No one comes they don’t exist
Try to fight them they will scoff
And crush you slowly ‘neath their fist

Jackals
Human jackals
Human jackals
Human jackals
Jackals
Jackals

Dialing the devil on a rotary phone
But he wouldn’t answer guess the lines were down
It was cold I was shaking there were cracks in the door
The wind it was blowing with a terrible roar
I got to thinking this is all a big joke
Behind a glass curtain I heard someone choke
So I took my bottle with the crossbones and skull
And swallowed it down oh it tasted so dull
Then I tried to grab hold of your pretty hand
But the smoke in my eyes made it too hard to stand
Something was burning I think it was me
Looks like i’ll be crying indefinitely
I can’t stop crying no more
I can’t stop crying no more
I can’t stop crying
